As with many build-related things in Warframe, It Depends.

First, halving enemy health with viral procs is never a bad thing. If you don't have to deal with armor, then viral is very very good because does a ton of bonus damage to both Corpus and Grineer flesh types.

Even when you do have armor to take into consideration, it can also be quite good on weapons that have a habit of kicking out loads of slash procs (either naturally or via Hunter Munitions), since slash procs ignore armor and halving enemy health is extra good in that situation.

Not every weapon can do that, though (or may require sacrificing something else in the build), so defaulting to corrosive is not a bad reflex to have.

This is good to know. Thanks! I may rework my arca plasmor to viral from corrosive since I'm running hunmun on it already anyway and see how it goes.

Don't waste money on the gold mods, they drop from eidolons and are thus dime a dozen.
Both primed mods are quality of life with pflow being more max energy, and pregen is your sentinel can die more times(if you even use a sentinel anymore)

my mission to farm my own serration mod last night was successful. also scored that warframe part blueprint. then i looked up hornet strike and saw it drops in exactly the same place but i didnt get any of those :( will probably ask for one and the shotgun one later since i hit rank 4 and have a hek cooking.

while i was farming the spy mission i noticed that there were several stages of added security that popped up after i had been farming for awhile. then they all disappeared after some more runs and it went back to the normal security. is there some mechanism that makes missions harder if you consecutively farm them?

I hit MR16 before my first hornet strike drop. I'd recommend giving up on getting mods yourself, if that's something you're going for.

Just get on clan chat and scream about mods as fast as possible, the game can be frustrating enough as it is

If you trigger an alarm in a vault, there's more security in the later vaults that mission, I imagine that's what was happening.

it didnt seem like it had anything to do with alarms. for like an hour or two every time i went into the vault with the waterfall you slide down there were security gates that turned on and off and a little drone that set off the alarm the second it saw you. then they were gone after awhile. the one where you fall down the waterpipe with extendable walkways always had security gates at the ends of the walkways and the little drone again. i was only setting off alarms from the drones so i dont think they were spawning from previous alarms.

Earth missions have a day/night cycle and night side missions have more automated defenses like sensor regulators, daytime will have more live guards. You may have played over that transition.

Now if anyone could explain why the Shadow Stalker has shown up 3 times straight while I'm on a low level frame with low level MR-fodder guns and 0 times while on Valkyr loaded for space bears...

I can almost guarantee the stalker and syndicate revenge squads are weighted to show up and turbofuck you when you decide to roll into a mission with rank 0 everything to level some mastery.

ah thats probably it. i think the drones replaced a guard spawn now that you mention it.

e: is there a good way to kill those drones without them going off? it seemed like even if i got the drop on it and shot before it saw me it still started the alarm.

You have to cleanly one-shot them or hit them with an instantaneous hard CC. The wiki can confirm some other CC which will hold them silently and safely. I use Limbo for spy, who can kill even the Eximus ones by casting Stasis FIRST, THEN banish them to activate the CC, then shift in and kill them before the effects end. If you can watch their movement pattern you can try to slip past them, I think they always follow the exact same route and only see in the direction of the lasers.

Amusingly enough, the cephalon Suda aimbots that follow along on syndicate missions mulch them straight up alive and aware without triggering the alarm.

You can Mind Control a dude, unload a shitload of damage into them and that increases their dmg multiplier.

Hopefully mind controlled enemies will no longer prevent wave-based games from progressing.

Oct 17, 2012

So whats the deal with the derelict? Is it a solo only thing or can a whole squad go with only one key? I also found a timed run and something that wanted a dragon key in the mission. got nothing out of them though.

Bring me the head of Auguste Escoffier.
Ideally you take a squad, and previously that was the only way to have all keys there.

A bug with the new gear wheel means you can solo it with all four keys, if you're a misanthropic rear end in a top hat or (like me) your connection is laggy and potentially makes group play a horrible frame skipping slog.

Get a Volt or a Valkyr, they've got abilities that boost melee attack speed, and in volt's case sprint speed as well.

The best weapon for inducing motion sickness is a Sword and Shield with the Final Harbinger stance. Most of the combos involve leaping across the room while spinning around and killing everything in your path. When you stack enough attack speed it basically becomes teleportation, and when used outdoors the Dark Light combo can outrun a K-Drive over short distances.

I had nothing to do with THAT.
Fortuna 2.0 is strating to spin up it seems.

quote:

If you're on PC you'll be expecting Fortuna Part II: The Profit Taker soon!

We are aiming to launch it next week - we'll keep you posted on that progress. Deploying before the holidays is always tricky, so thank you for your patience as we work toward this goal!

Now... say you wanted to prepare. Some tips for you:

A) HEISTS & TAKING DOWN THE PROFIT TAKER:
You must be Old Mate to participle in the Heist Bounties. So if you're not there yet - you've got a new goal for the weekend! Once you've gone through a full Heist - including the finale of taking down The Profit Taker Orb, you'll be able to freely access every stage of the Heist... this will make more sense once it's live :wink:.

B) VOX SOLARIS:
Stock up on Toroids - Little Duck's Vox Solaris Syndicate has 5 Ranks coming and will be home to Baruuk and his Components.


On the live version of Warframe, Vox Solaris has:

Neutral
Operative

The Update will include continued ranks of:

Agent - (Baruuk's Blueprint)
Hand - (Baruuk's Components)
Instrument
Shadow

C) And everything else?!
We are already at 12 pages of Notes for Part II. We have new Conservation species, new Amps & Arcanes, new Lore Fragments for our Fortuna Vendors, new Mods, new Operator hair, new Cosmetics, and much much more!

See you soon, Tenno!

Awesome!

Actually, that's a feature, as of about a month and a half ago. Per these official patch notes,

You've got guts! Come to my village, I'll buy you lunch.
I was really annoyed by the "you're supposed to do it in a team" aspect of Dragon Keys and intimidated (as a newbie) by the idea of trying to do it solo.

Fast-forward to today where I did a bunch of them solo as umbral Nidus and now I'm mostly just annoyed at how much worthless trash is in the corrupted mod drop pool. :geno:

Still, one more thing off my bucket list.

camels aren't so great
Yeah the key thing both for level access and then challenge mode for vault access sounded really intimidating to me, so i put it off until i'd gotten to sedna/mot

in practice the enemies are level 25 infected chumps, capture takes about 2 minutes to complete the objective, and the only reason why i'm not doing them 4key solo (or 75% change without the -damage one) on my rhino is because 4 corrupted drops are nicer than just one for me. Actually finding the door takes the longest and the biggest challenge is how finnicky the tilesets collision is.

Then again everyone but me already has tons of vault poo poo so group runs are actually kinda rare and hard to get started. Price of being late to the party
